    3/4/10 1 Year Anniversary of Trivia Mafia at the Woodbury Green Mill...

    And what a way to celebrate with plenty of teams battling it out for the free gift cards to the Green Mill and Half Price Books! 

    Coming in first place was a new team.  "Mailman Fog" beat out two regulars with their impressive score of 33 points.  They seemed to have it all figured out and took down the top honors and a gift card to the Green Mill.  Hopefully they come back and spend it next week during trivia night!  Well done guys and girls!!

    Second place was a tie with 32 overall points between the "Moorfia" and "ABMS."  The tie breaker was how many total subway stations are there in NYC?  "Moorfia" pulled a Price is Right and broke the tie to take down a gift card to the Green Mill for second place.  Nicely done.

    Rounding out the top three was "ABMS."  Enjoy your gift card to Half Price Books and your sour pucker tee.  That will look good poolside this summer... 

    Thank you all as always for coming out and spending some of your week with me and the lovely staff at the Woodbury Green Mill.  I can only speak for myself, but I have a great time hosting trivia night and seeing you all each and every week.  If you use Facebook or Twitter, you can follow along with us that way as well.  I'm already looking forward to more March Madness at trivia night.  Thanks again!

    2/18/10 It's Bloggin' Season...

    Ok, I'll admit that title doesn't sounds as cool as when rappers say it's flossin' season, but what can I do?  Although the Wisconsin Badgers did their best to ruin my entire evening by completely blowing it versus the Gophers in men's basketball, they forgot I had trivia to save the day!  And last night the place was packed and the trivia was packeder....

    Coming in first place was a team that initially didn't even want to play.  So what do they do?  Oh, they just decide to play and score 36 total points to blow away the competition!  Team "Inttocsicate" really had it all figured out when it came to trivia last night.  Well done you guys.  Enjoy your Green Mill gift card!

    A close second place this week was a regular squad of mental giants, team "Moorfia" with their grand total of 34 points.  These guys always impress with their useless knowledge which at times, seems limitless!  Enjoy your Green Mill gift card as well. 

    And rounding out the top three was another regular team.  "Ant Baby Machete Squad," or ABMS as they like to be called these days scored an impressive 31 to take down the gift card to Half Price Books. 

    As always, thank you all for coming out and spending some of your Thursday night with me playing trivia!  I have a great time as your host and can only hope you have even half as much fun.  Remember, you can follow along with us on this website, Twitter, or even Facebook if that's your thing.  There are other locations, great trivia questions, and even bonuses so it's worth it to check out.  Until next week, keep that useless knowledge sharp!  Have a great weekend.

    2/11/10 We won't be recalling the mafia anytime soon. Sorry Toyota!

    All you needed to know for this week's picture round was your Toyotas.  And I'd have to say, people know their Toyotas.  I'm impressed.  Maybe it's a Burbs thing...

    Either way, this week we had some stiff comeptition, and that has nothing to do with our winners, The Pen 15 Club...  They managed 32 total points, however they also added a bonus +1 for answering the IOQ (Internet Only Question) to break the tie and take down the first place gift card.  Well done guys and girls.  (Sorry for the photo, yours was the only one that wouldn't upload from the crackberry to Facebook for some reason so I had to go with an older one..)

    An extremely close 2nd place finish was the Moorfia with 32 points.  They welcomed back some players and did very well!  Always impressed with this team's knowledge!!  Congrats guys and gals, enjoy your gift card next week! 

    Rounding out the top three was ABMS, regulars in the top three spots!  This week they scored 30 points, enough to win a t-shirt and a gift card to Half Price Books!  Nicely done guys, and girl! 

    Another fun night of trivia in the books.  I'm already looking forward to next week.  Keep in mind, the 1 year anniversary for Trivia Mafia at the Woodbury Green Mill is coming up the first Thursday in March!  Let's have a big blowout for it!!  :)

    2/4/10 I hope I get a Razzie for my efforts one day!

    It was a cold, snowy, icey kinda night for trivia night but that didn't stop the hardcore regulars from showing up and having some fun!  To borrow from Biggie Smalls, the Mafia runs trivia in rain, sleet, hail, or snow!

    We had a tie for first with both teams killing it and totalling 32 points!  So, the tie breaker came down to who knew how much "stink" came out of a skunk blast, on average, each time.  Gross or neccessary?  You decide.  Either way, team Ant Baby Machete Squad (or ABMS) took it down and wound up with first place honors.  Good to see you regain the throne guys.  Well played. 

    After losing the tie breaker (barely) team "Dave's Back-Ups" took down a gift card for their efforts.  A very impressive score of 32 guys, better luck next time on the tie-breaker. 

    Rounding out the top three and getting a gift card to Half Price Books was team "Not Wet Enough" with a very good score of 27.  That score would have won a lot of trivia nights so hold your heads up high guys! 

    As always, I enjoy being your humble host and getting to spend some time with you all.  Good times and great oldies.  I hope to see you all again this week!

    1/28/10 Yoga Fresh

    It was a yoga pose kinda night and the competition really flexed their knowledge muscles!

    There was a heated 7 team battle for the top couple of spots with a tie-breaker having to come into play for an outright first place prize winner!  I apologize, however I wasn't able to get all the pictures up from our night.  I'll work on that and have them up later in the week.  I hope to see you all out this Thursday for another night of free trivia fun!
